Oh Marky, Marky, you've done it again. Thanks for the link to Lynne Cheney's steamy lesbo novel! Where men are rough, whiskey soaked louts and women are, well, "...so beautiful together, so pure, so loving."

How does this stuff stay buried? The sordid real-life stories of the GOP are coming out (no pun intended) fast and furious. Sen. David Vittor's love of the "ladies of the night;" and Guilliani's corrupt pal Bernie Kerrick. These so-called upstanding men are being revealed for the hypocrites they are.

These are people who will barely acknowledge the existence of their gay children; they are people who act as if they shit gold or something. They claim to be the smartest, most moral--God's chosen. They hold themselves up as examples to be emulated. I'm not aghast that people do these things, I'm just chuckling because of who is doing and saying these things. Geez, it feels like the fall of the Roman Empire....every body's lying, cheating, stealing, fornicating like there's no tomorrow. Oh, right, but these folks have God on their side, and Vitter's God has already forgiven him. How convenient. Isn't that special? Line 'em all up and have them appear on Church Lady's talk show! Now, wouldn't THAT be a skit worth seeing? She could give them all a good boxing of the ears, and then do her superiority dance. I can see it now....

Not that I have anything against steamy lesbian romance novels, mind you.
